At present, archetypes and reports can format dates using the following xpath functions:
- date:formatDate(value) - formats a date using the locale's MEDIUM format
- date:formatDate(value, style) - formats a date using the style - one of "short", "medium", "long"
- date:formatTime(value) - formats a time using the locale's MEDIUM format
- date:formatTime(value, style) - formats a time using the style - one of "short", "medium", "long"
- date:formatDateTime(value) - formats a date/time using the locale's MEDIUM format
- date:formatDateTime(value, style) - formats a date/time using the style - one of "short", "medium", "long"
- date:formatDateTime(value, dateStyle, timeStyle) - formats a date/time using the specified styles
This project will add an xpath function to that specifies a pattern for the format, to provide fine-grain control over how dates and times are presented. This will use the pattern from the SimpleDateFormat class.
E.g.:
- date:format(value, "dd/MM/yyyy h:mm a") - "21/03/2013 9:32 AM"
- date:format(value, "EEE, MMM d") - "Fri, Mar 23"
